"a Humble Confession"

Several years ago, in Western town,
young lawyer, a member of o large
church, got tdrunk. The brethren said
he must confess. He demurred. He
knew the members to be good people,
but that they had their little faults, such
as driving sharp bargains, screwing the
laborer down to low wages, loaning at
illegal rates, misrepresenting articles
they had for sale, etc. But they were
good people, and pressed the lawyer to
come before the church-meeting and own
up his sin of taking a glass too much,
for they were temperance people and
abhorred intemperance.
The sinner finally went to the confes-
sion, and found large gathering of
brethren and sisters, whose bowed heads
rose, and whose eyes glistened with pure
delight as the lawyer began his confes-
sion.
81 confess" he said, 'that I never
took ten per cent. for money" On that
confession, down went brothers head
with groan. 81 never turned poor
man from my door who needed food and
shelter" Down went another head. 81
confess never sold a skim-milk cheese
for a new one"-whereupon sister
shrieked for mercy. "But," concluded
the sinner, 81 have been drunk, and am
very sorry for it." Whereupon the meet
ing very peaceably adjourned Ken
t,cky Sentinel.
